The AI product manager

0:00 We're moving from being intuition driven to data augmented, and AI is the engine of that change. Today, we're defining the new playbook for the AI product manager. So, what is an AI product manager? It's a PM who shifts their focus from just managing features to managing intelligence systems. Instead of only asking, what should we build? You're now asking, what should our model learn? You're responsible for the entire lifecycle of an AI product, from data strategy and model selection to evaluation and managing the unique risks like bias and hallucinations.

1:00 To speak the language, you need to know a few core concepts. Think of a large language model or LLM as a super intelligent intern you can talk to. Natural language processing or NLP is what allows that intern to understand and respond to you in plain English. And computer vision gives it the ability to see and interpret images and videos. These are the building blocks of modern AI products. The explosion of generative AI has created a gold rush.

It's rapidly becoming a core competency for all product managers. Mastering these skills now puts you at the forefront of the most significant tech revolution of our time. The AI PM manages intelligence systems, understands the core concepts, and is leading the charge in this new era. Ready to learn the most fundamental skill for working with AI?
